THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. MICHAEL SANFORD, Appellant.

The hearing court properly determined that although defendant received points relating to the facts of the underlying sex crime, the risk assessment instrument failed to adequately take into account the extreme and unusual brutality of that crime, which warranted an upward departure ( see People v Ferrer, 35 AD3d 297, lv denied 8 NY3d 807 [2007]; People v Joslyn, 27 AD3d 1033). The court considered defendant's behavior following his release from prison and properly concluded that factor was outweighed by the circumstances of the crime.
